Following the success of “Pretty Boy Ghosthunters” – sorry, Supernatural – The WB has decided it needs more hour-long shows about the supernatural.
What they really want is a show about vampires. Or even two shows: one about a vampire, and another about someone who kills vampires. You know, like Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Oh. Wait. They were both The WB shows and the network decided it didn’t want either of them, because it was going for a different demographic or something.
Well done, guys. Good bit of thinking there.
